A surge of blood erupted, and a middle-aged man clad in a blood-red robe appeared. His eyes were crimson, and he smiled smugly at Luo Tianshen…
"Tsk tsk, I said, Luo Tianshen, why did you rush back from the battlefield in such a hurry? I thought you were going to die from your injuries, but I didn't expect you to be secretly performing the Luoshen Sacrifice while my Blood God Clan wasn't paying attention..."
Wow!
As the blood-red figure appeared, the armies on both sides of the Luo River unleashed their powerful spiritual energy. Luo Tianlong, who was in charge of leading the army, stared coldly at the blood-robed man who had appeared. His spiritual energy surged and his boundless fighting spirit rose, merging with the million-strong army of the Luo Shen Clan.
"Blood Spirit Child! You old ghost, how dare you trespass on my Luo Shen Clan! Aren't you afraid of losing your life?" Luo Tianshen immediately leaped up, facing the blood-red figure from afar.
"Heh, you want to kill me? With your Luo Shen clan?"
Xue Lingzi glanced at Luo Tianshen with disdain, waved his hand, and the sea of blood behind him spun, with seven more figures appearing behind him.
"Damn it! This Blood Spirit Child actually brought his clan's Earthly Sovereign here. Does he dare to fight to the death with my Luo Shen Clan here?!"
Clearly, Luo Tianshen was somewhat surprised that Xue Lingzi would dare to gamble so recklessly!
"The Luo River Formation!"
Without any hesitation, Luo Tianshen raised his hands, and a huge wave tens of thousands of feet high surged up from the surging Luo River below. The river water rolled up and then spread out at an astonishing speed, finally forming a huge water curtain tens of thousands of feet high. The water curtain, like an inverted giant bowl, enveloped the entire Luoshen City.
"Hmph, you think you can stop my Blood God Clan with just a tortoise shell? How naive!"
Blood Spirit Child raised his hand, and the sea of blood behind him quickly gathered, transforming into a sky-covering blood hand that slammed down on the water curtain.
Amidst the horrified gazes of everyone in the Luo Shen Clan, the water curtain trembled violently, but ultimately managed to hold on stubbornly.
This relieved many members of the Luo Shen clan.
On the contrary, Luo Tianshen's expression was unusually grim...
"We can't let these people continue attacking the great formation, otherwise the formation will eventually reach its limit and break!"
More importantly, Luo Tianshen could not allow these people to interrupt her son's Luoshen Sacrifice!
"Tianlong, you lead the army to protect Xun'er. The four of you, come with me to meet the enemy!"
Luo Tianlong knelt down without hesitation to accept the order, while the three Earth Sovereigns from the royal branch changed their expressions drastically. One of them hurriedly said, "Clan leader, the enemy outnumbers us. Wouldn't going out be suicide?"
"In my opinion, we should rely on the large formation for defense..."
“Yes, yes…” the other two quickly chimed in agreement.
"You idiot!" Luo Tianshen roared in anger, but in the end he suppressed his rage and said in a deep voice, "Have you thought about the consequences if the enemy breaks through this Luohe Grand Formation? Do you want to watch our clan be wiped out?"
Upon hearing Luo Tianshen's words, the three immediately shut their mouths.
Although they were dissatisfied with the royal family, they had not yet reached the point of a complete break. Moreover, as members of the Luo Shen clan, they were all in the same boat, sharing both glory and ruin. Without Luo Tianshen protecting them, none of them could escape the clutches of the Blood God clan. Therefore, after a brief silence, the three of them agreed with Luo Tianshen's words.
Seeing that Luo Tianshen and the others had actually come out of the tortoise shell, Xue Lingzi's face flashed with a smug smile. He was betting that Luo Tianshen wouldn't dare to really gamble with the fate of the entire Luo Shen clan.
Of course, he didn't intend to actually wipe out the enemy in this battle, but at the very least, he wanted to kill one or two of them to further weaken the strength of the Luo Shen Clan and also to dampen the morale of the entire Luo Shen Clan in their resistance.
Like cutting them into a thousand pieces, he wanted to slowly dismember the Luo Shen clan and then swallow them whole, making them nourishment for his Blood God clan.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect you old codger Luo Tianshen to have some guts, actually daring to step out of this tortoise shell... You really make me look at you with new eyes." Xue Lingzi looked at the five members of the Luo Shen clan opposite him and said sarcastically.
Luo Tianshen's face was icy cold as he said in a chilling voice, "Is that so? Then you'd better watch closely. If I were more courageous, I would fight to the death with your Blood God Clan, and I'm afraid your Blood Spirit Child wouldn't dare to follow!"
The Little Western Heaven Realm has four great divine clans. If Luo Tianshen really risked his life to perish together with the Blood God Clan and these powerful figures, he wouldn't need much. Just killing half of their fighting strength would be enough to ensure that the Blood God Clan would suffer the same fate as the Luo Tianshen Clan. Luo Tianshen didn't think Xue Lingzi would dare to gamble with him!
】
As expected, Xue Lingzi's expression stiffened upon hearing this, and then the blood-red light in his eyes grew even colder.
"Hmph, your Luo Shen clan is nothing but withered bones in a tomb. Its destruction is only a matter of time. I will not fight to the death with you, old man."
"However... I can still offer to help you on your journey to destruction, Luo Shen Clan..."
If they can kill one or two Earthly Sovereigns of the Luo Shen Clan, then this will be considered a great success.
Having figured this out, Luo Tianshen was burning with rage, but faced with the disparity in strength, he was powerless to do anything, which was undeniably a tragedy.
Xue Lingzi's face broke into a smug smile again. He then addressed the Blood God Clan elder behind him, "Listen up, everyone. In a moment, identify your targets and concentrate your forces to kill one first..."
"Don't worry, I'll hold off Luo Tianshen; he won't be able to bother you!"
These words made Luo Tianshen's face turn ashen, while the three Earthly Sovereigns from the royal family branches changed their expressions drastically, and their eyes began to flicker.
This scene did not escape Xue Lingzi's eyes at all, which gave him another opportunity to weaken the Luo Shen Clan...
A great battle was about to break out, and Luo Tianshen was even prepared to fight to the death.
At the critical moment, a sudden pressure descended from the sky, instantly obliterating a grand formation that had not yet been activated.
A figure appeared above them at some unknown time, and slowly walked towards Luo Tianshen to their astonishment.
"Hehe, Brother Luo, what's up? Your Luoshen City is quite lively today..."
Chapter 614 A Turning Point in Fate
This sudden appearance of a person not only surprised the Blood God Clan members, but even Luo Tianshen was momentarily stunned.
"You are... Ye Chen?" After a long while, Luo Tianshen looked at the young man in front of him and finally spoke with some uncertainty.
There was nothing he could do. Although when they first met, Luo Tianshen had a vague feeling that this young man from a lower plane was stronger than him, a few years later, the other party had become a terrifying existence that he could not even see from behind when he looked up.
"Greetings, Palace Master Ye!"
Upon recognizing the newcomer, Luo Tianshen felt even more uneasy. He no longer dared to treat Ye Chen as an equal as before and instead behaved with unusual respect.
At this moment, both Xue Lingzi and others from the Blood God Clan, as well as the Luo Shen Clan members in the great formation below, recognized each other's identities.
However, their reactions were completely opposite.
"How is this possible... When did Old Ghost Luo come to know an expert of this level?!"
Blood Spirit Child, his face pale, roared with filial piety in his heart.
If they had known earlier that the Luo Shen Clan knew someone of this level of power, they wouldn't have been so arrogant, even if they had a hundred times more courage.
Meanwhile, the Luo Shen Clan powerhouses, who had been in despair, suddenly had a burst of intense light in their eyes.
"I never expected that our clan leader would know such a terrifyingly powerful expert as the Palace Master of the Myriad Transformations Star Palace... Our Luo Shen Clan is saved!"
Countless members of the Luo Shen clan were screaming in their hearts at this moment.
Although they didn't know the extent of their clan leader's relationship with this top expert from the Great Thousand World, just from the tone of their conversation, it was clear that no one in the Little Western Heaven Realm would dare to provoke the Luo Shen Clan!
This is the kind of impact a peak-level expert can have...
Similarly, the three Earthly Sovereigns, who were branches of the royal family, were also astonished, and then their expressions became somewhat complicated.
On one hand, with such a powerful figure appearing, the crisis facing the Luo Shen Clan could be resolved instantly. On the other hand, if the royal family represented by the Luo Tian Shen could befriend such a terrifyingly powerful figure, wouldn't their branches have no hope of taking over?
With such complicated feelings, the three of them didn't know what to say for a moment, and could only stand there blankly, watching Ye Chen and Luo Tianshen talk.
“Brother Luo, there’s no need for such formalities between us. When I first came to the Great Thousand World, I was very grateful for your help…” Ye Chen shook his head helplessly at Luo Tianshen’s restraint.
Seeing Ye Chen's expression, Luo Tianshen understood that Ye Chen's words were not false, and breathed a sigh of relief. Then, temporarily setting aside Ye Chen's status, he smiled familiarly and said, "Hehe, Brother Ye, please don't say that. Even without me, with your strength, you would have been able to easily establish yourself in the Great Thousand World..."
"Moreover, it has only been a few years, and I never expected that Brother Ye has already reached the pinnacle of the Great Thousand World. He truly deserves to be called a prodigy who was able to break through the barriers between planes and come to the Great Thousand World!"
Their conversation allowed Xue Lingzi on the other side to roughly guess the relationship between the two, but the more he guessed, the more fearful he became.
There was no other way. To a peak expert like Ye Chen, the Blood God Clan was nothing more than an ant, someone who could be crushed with a flick of the wrist. Therefore, the other party certainly wouldn't mind doing Luo Tianshen a favor in this regard...
"Brother Luo seems to be injured?" Ye Chen glanced at Luo Tianshen's withered face and immediately noticed that his spiritual energy was somewhat stagnant.
Luo Tianshen smiled and said, "Just some Blood Demon Poison."
Ye Chen nodded, glancing at Xue Lingzi and the other members of the Blood God Clan on the other side...
Just that one glance almost scared Xue Lingzi and the others out of their wits. Fortunately, Ye Chen only glanced at them casually and didn't mean anything by it. Otherwise, even if these people weren't crushed to death by his pressure, they would probably be scared to death by the fear in their hearts.
The pressure from a Heavenly Sovereign is devastating to Earthly Sovereigns like them!
Ye Chen withdrew his gaze and chuckled, "It's nothing."
As soon as he finished speaking, he gently patted Luo Tianshen's hand, and a wisp of purplish-black star spiritual power rushed into the latter's body. The next moment, Luo Tianshen's face turned blood red, and then drops of foul-smelling blood seeped out from his pores.
In just a few breaths, Luo Tianshen's face became rosy, and his previously stagnant spiritual energy became smooth again, which brought a look of surprise to his face.
However, after the initial surprise, he couldn't help but marvel at the power of the Heavenly Sovereign. He clearly hadn't expected that the Blood Demon Poison, which had trapped him for so long, would be so easily and completely neutralized.
You should know that this stuff is deeply embedded in the bloodline's spiritual power. Even a Great Perfection Earthly Sovereign would find it difficult to remove the poison from the outside unless his own cultivation level increases again.
While Ye Chen was helping Luo Tianshen neutralize the Blood Demon Poison, Xue Lingzi, who was in the distance, was sweating profusely and looked ashen-faced as a prisoner awaiting sentencing.
After helping Luo Tianshen remove the blood poison, Ye Chen looked at everyone present, pondered for a moment, and said, "I shouldn't interfere in the internal conflicts of the Little Western Heaven Realm. After all, this is still nominally the territory of the Western Heaven War Palace. If I interfere, the Western Heaven War Emperor might have objections..."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Luo Shen Clan except for Luo Tian Shen changed their expressions drastically, while Xue Ling Zi was overjoyed, as if he had grasped at the only lifeline.
That's right! No matter how strong the other party is, this is the Western Heaven Continent, the territory of the Western Heaven Battle Palace. Besides, this Lord of the Myriad Transformations Star Palace and Luo Tianshen have only met once. There is no way he would offend a super power for the sake of a mere Luo Shen clan.
This isn't a question of whether or not we dare, but whether or not it's worth it...
Although Luo Tianshen was somewhat disappointed, he wasn't surprised, because he had actually thought about this issue before. After all, he and Ye Chen had only met once, and he didn't feel that Ye Chen owed him any favors.
Just as Luo Tianshen was about to speak, Ye Chen ignored the changes in everyone's expressions and continued, "However, to repay your kindness in guiding me back then, I'll lend this to you for now..."
As he spoke, dazzling starlight erupted from Ye Chen's hand.
As starlight fell, a long spear gleaming with silver starlight appeared in Ye Chen's hand...
"This Star River Ancient God Spear is a weapon I created using star power. It works quite well. Brother Luo, you should take it and use it..."
Luo Tianshen stared in stunned silence at the enormous spear hovering in front of him.
Just from the aura emanating from this spear, everyone could sense its immense power; it was definitely at the level of a sacred artifact, and might even be a near-peerless sacred artifact...
Suddenly, Xue Lingzi, who had been ecstatic, was completely distraught. His muscles trembled all over, and he looked like he was about to faint.
He desperately wanted to rush up to Ye Chen, grab him by the collar, and yell, "Didn't you say you wouldn't interfere? Are you playing me?!"
They agreed not to interfere, but in the blink of an eye they gave the other party such a powerful treasure. What's the difference between this and just killing them outright?
Luo Tianshen was clearly surprised that Ye Chen would do something like this, and he hesitated for a moment before saying, "This... is this really okay? Brother Ye, won't doing this cause you trouble?"
Ye Chen chuckled softly, "This is troublesome... Is Brother Luo worried that the War Emperor might be angry? Why don't we just ask him directly..."
As he spoke, Ye Chen's gaze swept past everyone and landed on a certain spot. Under everyone's astonished gaze, he said calmly, "Brother Zhan Huang, I wonder if my actions are reasonable?"
As Ye Chen finished speaking, everyone was once again deeply shaken.
In the sky, a golden figure stood with his hands behind his back. He had dazzling golden hair, a handsome face with chiseled features, and a powerful charm in his deep eyes that made him unforgettable at first glance.
However, it was the awe-inspiring majesty emanating from him that was most captivating.
Throughout the world, countless powerful figures trembled under that oppressive aura.
War Emperor!
The founder of the Western Heaven Battle Palace, and also the ruler of the entire Western Heaven Continent.
In the entire Little Western Heaven Realm, this is their only true god, both in name and in reality!
As soon as the Western Heaven War Emperor appeared, his gaze was fixed on Ye Chen, and then a grand and deep voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
"Palace Master Ye is grateful and repays kindness, so how could I possibly have any objections?"
At this moment, everyone was so shocked that they didn't know what to say... It was just an ordinary Luoshen Festival in the Luoshen Clan, who would have thought that it would attract the appearance of two Heavenly Sovereigns.
As for Xue Lingzi, who chose this moment to cause trouble, he wished he could just smash his head against a wall and die...
Upon seeing this, Ye Chen smiled slightly, looked at Zhan Huang, and said, "Then thank you very much, Brother Zhan Huang."
"Perfect timing! It's the Luoshen Clan's Luoshen Festival right now. Since we're here, why don't we become guests and observe the ceremony?"
The War Emperor looked at the Luohe Grand Array below and said, "Good!"
Although he didn't care about the so-called Luo Shen Clan, since Ye Chen had spoken up, the War Emperor naturally couldn't refuse.
Moreover, the Luo Shen clan is, after all, a descendant of the Luo Shen who was once known as the most beautiful woman in the entire world. It's unknown how much of her legacy these descendants will inherit...
"Alright, Brother Luo, you go ahead and take care of your business. Brother Zhanhuang and I will head down first..." After greeting Luo Tianshen, Ye Chen passed directly through the Luohe Grand Formation and appeared inside it.
Similarly, the War Emperor easily passed through the great formation and entered Luoshen City, a scene that shocked the Luoshen Clan powerhouse who was presiding over the formation.
In the sky outside the great formation, Luo Tianshen was not surprised by this. He simply grasped the floating Star River Ancient God Spear in front of him, and then looked at Xue Lingzi and the others with a cold glint in his eyes...
"Old Ghost Luo... no, Clan Chief Luo... everything before was a misunderstanding. I will leave with my men immediately, and I can also order the Blood God Clan army to cease hostilities immediately. I guarantee that the Blood God Clan will never have any conflict with the Luo Clan again!"
Terrified, Xue Lingzi immediately shouted that he had to back down.
Unfortunately, his conditions failed to sway Luo Tianshen, who simply brandished his spear and thrust it forward without hesitation...
